Answer:

I think it's similes.

Explanation:

You can immediately cancel out allusions (reference to well-known person, place, or event outside the story) and hyperbole (an exaggeration, not to be entirely believed) leaving simile and metaphor. Because the word "like" shows up twice at the beginning and end- the roof came down steep and black like a cowl, their thick-leaved, far-reaching branches shadowed it like a pall- we can assume the answer is simile. Hope this helps!

Answer:

D. Similes

Explanation:

Similes use comparison to describe people, things, events, elements, and others while employing the words “like,” or “as.” The description of the setting uses this figurative language when it uses “like” to describe how the roof came down: “steep and black like a cowl” and to describe how the tree branches shadowed the roof: “like a pall.”

Is this a misplaced or dangling modifier? Emma Sue was delighted when Mr. Nguyen returned her perfect calculus test with an ear-

RoseWind [281]

This “Emma Sue was delighted when Mr Nguyen returned her perfect calculus test with an ear-to-ear grin” is a misplaced modifier.

Explanation:

A modifier does not describe the word next to it logically, so it is a misplaced modifier. It does not clearly mention the details in a sentence. This can be changed by modifying the sentence as follows: Mr Nguyen showed her correct calculus verification with an ear-to-ear grin, which delighted Emma Sue.

In the given, “with an ear-to-ear grin” denotes the prepositional phrase. It explains test if its target to be Mr Nguyen. In simple, termed as misplaced when the modifier presents after a word and not describes logically.
